Ms Lillian Kayinza, an ex-wife of Mr Madi Walakira Kabanda beat her husband in the race for councillor for Namayina-Jolwe at Kasangati Town Council in Wakiso District.
Ms Kayinza, who was standing as an Independent candidate, was running against her former husband, who was standing on the National Unity Platform ticket.
The couple separated seven years ago after what they term as irreconcilable differences.
But they both remained within the same area since they are both born and bred from there. The couple had two children.
